Answer:
b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is correct up to the step 2x = 6x
2x = 6x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
0 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 0
You cannot divide both sides by x since x could be zero, and in fact, it is.
Answer: b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.
Answer: The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to add the width of the pieces cut.
Mathematically speaking:
8 in +8 in = 16 in
Now, we have to subtract that result to the width of the sheet of brass.
33 in -16 in = 17 in
The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Answer:
= 9.2195 = 9.22
= 4.123
Step-by-step explanation:
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
